#NaariKiChaupal#AwarenessVisits
On 7th March, the village visits proved to be a new learning experience for our volunteers. Mixed ideologies and practices surfaced in the the villages of Swaroop Nagar and Siraspur. On recollecting her experience, one volunteer commented,” After talking to the ladies, i got to know that cases of aborting the girl child are still prevalent in the community. On a positive note, the women were more keen than ever before to let their girls study and accomplish great things. The women wanted their girls to become educated so that their own dreams can be fulfilled.” Our session on menstrual hygiene was greeted with much enthusiasm by the women. While some were educated about the details, others were surprised at the complexities of the female body and its requirements. Overall, the women revealed how gradually girls are being considered equal to boys and are being empowered.
